What is the City doing to eliminate graffiti?

City of Pickering initiatives that address graffiti problems include:

• implementing a graffiti reporting program
• enforcing a Graffiti By-law
• experimenting with coatings and other materials to protect infrastructure from graffiti
• liaising with community partners to advise when non-City owned properties are vandalized
• increasing available space where graffiti art is acceptable (such as the Skateboard Park within Diana, Princess of Wales Park)
• hosting a graffiti art event lets youth paint graffiti in a designated area
• working in partnership with CN, Metrolinks, and the Living Wall to investigate the installation of an anti-graffiti barrier near Highway 401 and the CN railway bridge
